In İzmir, the non-residential building occupies a considerable amount of energy consumption. Almost 18% of İzmir energy use together with public buildings is in this sector.
Energy consumptions and energy prices of commercial buildings are higher than for residential buildings, so insulation and other energy efficiency applications are expected to be more cost effective and it is anticipated that by 2020 at least 30% of the total building stock reductions will be 17.5% by taking heat insulation measures.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the municipal fuel consumption of the vehicle fleet occupy a small place within the emissions of the city's transportation category. However, the replacement of some of these vehicles with electrical and hybrid vehicles will have a significant impact on the urban population. The IMM will contribute to both the increase of charging stations and the promotion of the use of electric vehicles for the city. Measures such as informing urban residents about using alternative fueled electric vehicles, increasing the number of charging stations and providing parking facilities for electric vehicles will contribute to the increase in the use of these vehicles.
Up to 2020, 25% of municipal vehicle fleet will be replaced by electric / hybrid vehicles. The electric vehicle will be purchased or rented.

İzmir-Aydın railway, which was founded in 1856, is the first national railway line. However, the high-speed train connection has not yet reached İzmir. Although it is the regional center and the most important port, the freight transport is overpowering the highway. It is expected that it will be 663 km long and it will last 3 hours and 50 minutes on the Ankara-İzmir high-speed train line planned to reach İzmir on Uşak Eşme and Manisa center via Afyonkarahisar city center leaving 22nd km of Ankara-Konya high-speed train line. The integration of the High Speed ​​Train (YHT) line and tracked system, which is undergoing significant investments, may have a significant impact on reducing the energy intensity in urban transport;
1. It can be predicted that a significant part of these journeys will be fast trains by the fact that the intercity railway option in the passenger transportation is carried out at the contemporary start and fast. This situation will reduce the number of buses leaving Izmir bus station.
2. Railway transport provides cost and speed advantages over freight transportation. An important part of agricultural production originating from İzmir will benefit from this option.
3. From the tourism point of view, it can be said that the option of fast rail will take an important burden in this sector as well.

One of the focus areas of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality is "urban transformation". İzmir Metropolitan Municipality 2015-2019 Strategic Plan sees İzmir as an opportunity for the planned and healthy development of İzmir, especially the fact that the zoning control authorities are in the Metropolitan Municipality with the Law No. 6306 and for other reasons. The IMM has designated "Urban Regeneration and Development Project" areas in the city as a whole with its high-scaled plan decisions. More than 30.000 new independent residential units will be built by İBB in different parts of the city, the biggest ones being Bayraklı, Uzundere, Ege Mahallesi, Ballıkuyu, Gaziemir and Örnekköy.
In the above approximate number of dwellings, it is envisaged to use 40% energy saving from the beginning and using energy efficient design, accurate insulation and efficient energy systems.

Household behavior is one of the important elements of energy consumption in residential areas. Both lighting and changing the device habits to provide energy efficiency have reduced total residential energy consumption by 5%.
The local government will establish consultation centers in İzmir where the employees can obtain information on energy consumption, savings, new technologies, application companies. Centers where information can be disseminated to the citizens in service buildings and / or at different visible points, brochures can be dispatched. Other topics such as saving lighting, energy efficient electronic devices, insulation, public transportation usage should be added to the topics to be informed by utilizing experiences in different cities, which already provide a similar service to large masses, so citizens should benefit from these information points.

Buses and public transport continue to receive a significant share and the use of private vehicles is increasing day by day in Turkey.
Until recently, service vehicles used in public institutions have been abolished to encourage public transport, but unfortunately this seems to increase the use of private vehicles (the number of vehicles in institutions car parks is increasing day by day).
The Transportation Master Plan (2009) shows that 5 additional tram lines are planned, while more parts of the city can be reached with the extended IZBAN and Metro lines. These are the lines of Karşıyaka, Bornova, Buca, Konak and Narlıdere-Urla. With the plans prepared by targeting 2030, trolley line about 40 km is predicted excluding Urla line. The last stop is the İYTE Urla tram line alone is 36 km. It is assumed that a significant portion of these investments will be completed by 2020. It is envisaged that the extension of the railway system and its integration with other public transport options will seriously increase public transport usage in Izmir and reduce the use of private cars.
Similarly, it is aimed to increase the use of maritime transportation by increasing the number of boats on the sea, arranging the integration with the other public transportation centers of the city, renewing the ferryboats and making the periodical flights on some lines permanent.

Electricity consumption in non-residential buildings is around 16% of the whole city's consumption. An important part of this energy consumption comes from the lack of enlightenment. With the already valid Energy Efficiency Strategy Paper in public buildings it is already envisaged that energy efficiency steps will be taken. It is considered that consciousness to be done in this matter will be very effective and energy saving will be achieved in 75% of these structures.
